KC selling BDRs

[uncltodd]

Since piss-ant "Bug Boy's" personal info is deleted, I will post a little for the rest of us who are not ashamed of our personal profiles.

Keep in mind, this was summer, 2004, just my side, (THE BUYER!!!)

BDR #139 was delivered to KeithCraft Motorsports for installation of a drivetrain, a 351W with a Tremec TKO 500 and a billet shifter.

Built by KeithCraft MotorSports in Plano, TX, north of Dallas.

A magnificent engine, tranny combo, IMHO, BUT!!! my BackDraft dealer went tits-up (bankrupt) shortly after that.

I had powertrain issues, KCMS had issues with Victory Motorsports, I got caught in the middle.

I have been "persona non gratis" for damned near five years with KCMS and BDR.

They had their catfight, I was on the sidelines, but I got impregnated.

Waranty? WHAT warranty???

There is a certain bitterness in my brew.

With the entire BDR organization.

I can't even locate a part number for a new cap for my brake fluid reservoir.

Do I sound happy? Not.

Will anyone from BDR contact me?

Not.

Welcome to my world.

Todd,

I watched all this unfold and your beef should be with Victory..Just so you understand.

You were sold what he called a KCM motor...not true. He bought the short block from keith's shop in Dallas and installed his own heads and the cheapest alternators other items he could get his hands on. It was crap but what did you want Rob and Keith to do?? No parts were supplied by the shop they were all supplied by Boudy and he said put them on..now on your car I don't remember if they even did that part of the install.

He wasn't going to fix it for free as he didn't supply the parts or other items and Boudy didn't want to pay him. I also remember when you had it aligned and then there was an incident with the lug nuts coming off...I have to stick up for North Central on this one. You don't remove tires to align a car....Boudy LIED to alot of people...you got upset and rightfully so but what do you expect a shop that Didn't sell you the car? Didn't sell you the parts and didn't have you as the customer to do?

Victory was your problem.

Did you ever pay Keith Craft Motorsports for work directly or did it all go though Boudy and you were just told what they were doing?

Not trying to bash you but I think you need to hear the whole story that was behind alot of this and the crap that Boudy was feeding you.

Todd:

I tried a search for the old thread regarding this and couldn't find it, but as I remember, your car had a bunch of el-cheapo parts (alternator,starter and such) supplied by your dealer (Boudy/Victory) and they failed on your car and by then Boudy/Victory was gone and you wanted KCMS to make it all good, they refused as it wasn't their parts or their motor(was a shortblock and heads Boudy brought to KCMS and had KCMS put it all togther and called it a KC engine).... I don't blame you for trying, but KCMS should never have been brought into this as it was all on your dealer.... Yes, you got screwed, but, by Boudy/Victory, not KCMS..........

I feel for you and sorry it ever happend, but you put the blame or tried to put the blame on the wrong people, plain and simple.....hindsight is always 20/20 and as time goes on, we hear more and more about Boudy/Victory and soo far, nothing good!!!!!!!!!!!

I can see KCMS not wanting to talk to you as they received some bad publicity over this that they never should have and I guess the relationship with Boudy/Victory and BDR went south in a hurry and they not knowing all what went on are hesitant to do anything either.....

All in all, you got the short end of the stick and I'm sorry it happened that way, but sometimes those things do happen...........

Just getting caught up on this thread. Not sure what UT means by this and how it relates to his dissatisfaction with his interactions with Backdraft and KC.

Sounds like a series of unfortunate events....that other CC members seem to recall in detail.
